Memories and drinks don't mix too well And jukebox records don't play those wedding bells Looking at the world through the bottom of a glass All I see is a man who's fadin' fast.
Tonight I need that woman again What I'd give for my baby to just walk in Sit down beside me and say it's alright Take me home and make sweet love to me tonight.
But here I am again mixing misery and gin Sittin' with all my friends and talkin' to myself I look like I'm havin' a good time but any fool can tell That this honky tonk heaven really makes you feel like hell.
I light a lonely woman's cigarette We start talkin' bout what we want to forget Her life story and mine are the same We both lost someone and only have ourselves to blame But here I am again...
